Welp…
Nazis. They’re Nazis. This is Nazis.
I just want to remind anyone thinking that this is a good thing because it will siphon off voters from the Republican Party - Elon Musk is only doing this because Trump cut the EV mandate from the Big Bullshit Bill and didn’t appoint his guy to NASA. No matter what he says about spending or debt ceilings, he doesn’t care about any of it and was in the loop the entire time that legislation was being crafted. He’s still only in this for himself, just as he was when he gleefully threw a Nazi salute on stage thinking he just got everything he could ever want when he bought the president his office.
I hope this becomes big enough to split the right-wing vote. I wish him all the success possible.
The neo-Nazi saluting bastard wants a political party? F-him and strip him of US citizenship for illegally working in the USA.
If anyone has a chance to create another party. AOC and Mamdani.
Has he filed any paperwork? Gathered any signatures?
Didn’t think so. It’s just typical Elmo Skum: hurricane force hot air scented with billionaire quantities of bovine effluvia.
Good time to make a fourth party.
How many weeks before he gets bored and abandons it when things don’t immediately work, just like everything else in his useless life?
unlike rockets or cars, political party success in America is measured in dollars
He already bought himself an entire department with no oversight but got bored of it after a few months.
In 1962, Congress created the role of “special government employee,” which allows the executive branch, the legislative branch and independent federal agencies to bring on employees for specific roles on a temporary basis.
SGEs are limited to working for the government for no more than 130 days out of a 365-day period, though they can work multiple years, and they can either be paid or unpaid. NPR has reported that Musk is not being paid for his work with DOGE.
If you’re just going to copy and paste from an NPR article, you might as well provide a link while you’re at it.
A white South African dude created the American Party
ffs did somebody step on a bug in 2015 and change the whole timeline?
I’m thinking of doing a Ghost Dance to bring Harambe back
I fail to see how splitting up the fascists is anything but a good thing. Let them fight.
I’m sure Tesla shareholders are happy to hear he’s picked up another side project.
Don’t you remember? He’s a super genius!
Get ready for some more 12D chess from Mr. Rocket Scientist AI Expert
Odd strategy.
Leftists won’t buy it, and most liberals aren’t going to buy it, and it might divide the right, while team blue is fracturing.
Gonna be a 4 on one, not a 3.
Reading the article to see what ridiculous name he’s going to give it.
“The America Party”?
TBH, pretty tame in Musk standards. At least it’s pronounceable.
The name is to make a grab at the r’s. If it wasn’t, he would have named it the x party.
I hope this would split the vote among magas and republicans and the dems would be a shoe in. Sadly, I’ve lost a lot of faith in the dems and their ability to effectively fight for the people. Maybe we need even more parties?
Dems won’t do shit to make people’s lives better but they won’t open up concentration camps and will mostly leave trans people alone.
Unless the dinosaurs talking shit about Mamdani and AOC are brought to heel.
A third party is only likely to split the vote of the people who can’t stand trump.
One obstacle all third parties face in the US is party-line voting, which favors the dominant parties.
On possible outcome is that he puts a lot of money into making third party candidates more viable, like efforts to ban party-line voting or supporting ranked choice voting. So, you could vote for the America Party candidate and then if they don’t have a majority ñ, you vote could roll over to the Dem or GOP candidate of your choice, reducing your risk of voting third party.
These changes would help Libertarian, Green and other parties as well. More choice for voters!
I personally believe ranked choice voting is the only thing left that could possibly save this country. When only two large powerful organizations control our entire political system things will not go well. On top of that, it encourages team sports mentality where people adopt political positions simply to support their team. Worst yet, it gives these parties too much power to control candidates who stray from the party line. If you’re running as a Democrat and have even one opinion that doesn’t align with the script you’ll be pushed out. Republicans mostly didn’t agree with Trump until he took the party over and used that power to push out anyone who didn’t agree with him. If we had multiple parties it would be a lot harder to stop a candidate who deviated on opinion and that’s the way it should be.
